After that, natural gas will be transmitted to the areas located on the west of Padma River. Industries and residential households on the west of Padma River are going to get their much coveted gas connections soon following the installation of a 30-inch pipeline through the river. China Petroleum Pipeline Bureau (CPPB), a Chinese state-owned company, successfully completed the installation of the 30-inch high pressure natural gas pipeline across Padma River on July 13. The CPPB won the bid and started installing the 2.21km pipeline through Padma River. Although almost all of the project work had been finished earlier, only the construction of the Padma River-crossing pipeline remained incomplete.
